Hi David,
I can't explain why, but when the workbench crashes, it sometimes leaves corrupted workspace directory contents that aren't parsed correctly the next time around.

A work-around is to restore a known set of working files.

If you're running Windows 7, can you navigate in Windows Explorer to your C:\Users\"coyote"\IDLWokspace83 folder, right click and select "Restore previous versions", then pull up a backup copy?

Any chance the workbench disappeared when you tried to use the File/Save dialog? I'm looking for other victims of that behavior so people in the building will stop calling me crazy. For that reason, anyway.

Jim P.
